Why? To get hits it's a simple case of "Oh EG reported this so people are more likely to believe it lets move on it as well", NX has been one of the main things on the minds of gamers for over a year, also how about you find me a quote where Nintendo says they'll never use comparable specs?

WSJ has reported on other rumours that flat out contradicts you.

Such as? WSJ originally made a vague report of using cutting edge chips. A Tegra X2 is a cutting edge chip, it may not be what you consider to be cutting edge, but it is (14 or 16nm high end mobile processor). 

Why not piggy back on 50 other rumors, why is it this one report is gaining so much traction? 

If it was untrue, a reputable person would've come forward and said "this is bullshit". That doesn't require giving details it just requires them saying "nope". That hasn't happened either. 

Nintendo don't use cutting edge chips.
